Gather direct to object storage backups immutability expiration date

[massimiliano.rizzi]

Hello Community and good day,

please consider the following scenario:

==================================================
1. When backups are stored on a Veeam Hardened Repository, Veeam Backup & Replication Console shows the "Immutable Until" date
2. Veeam Backup & Replication Console doesn't show it (yet ?) for direct to object storage backups
==================================================

As part of doing some housekeeping and, most importantly, capacity planning and forecasting for an existing customer, we are in a situation where we have several immutable restore points created by direct to object storage backups and, as part of a one-off request, we would like to somehow gather the immutability expiration date for these immutable restore points.

As Veeam Backup & Replication Console doesn't show it (yet ?) for capacity/archive tier or direct to object storage backups, at the moment is it possible to somehow gather this information either by running a query against the Veeam Configuration Database or by using Veeam PowerShell cmdlets ?

If it is possible to gather this information by running a query against the Veeam Configuration Database, we will of course of course open a support case in order to do this with the help of Veeam Support.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Massimiliano

Hi Massimiliano

Our upcoming version 13 will show the immutable until date for object storage repositories.



Regarding methods in v12, I don’t believe there is a workaround.
I recommend waiting for Q4 and the release of v13.0.1 (first v13 release for Windows-based backup servers).

Best,
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

thank you very much for your prompt reply and for the information.

Great to hear that Veeam listened to this feature request for this capability and that v13 will show the immutable until date for object storage repositories as well!

Kind Regards,
